‘Shark Tank’ Star Kevin O’ Leary in Boat Crash That Killed Two

Authorities in Ontario, Canada continue to investigate a boat collision involving Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary that left two people dead.

The fatal crash occurred on Lake Joseph in Ontario around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 24, Seguin Township authorities said in a statement.

Two people were killed in the crash: Gary Poltash, 64, of Florida and Susanne Brito, 48, of Uxbridge, Ontario. Police said Poltash died at the scene of the crash and Brito died Tuesday after being taken to a hospital with critical injuries.

Three other people were injured in the collision, treated at the hospital and released, police said.

On Tuesday, O’Leary, a multi-millionaire investor known as “Mr. Wonderful” on the ABC reality show, released a statement about the incident.

“Late Saturday night I was a passenger in a boat that that had a tragic collision with another craft that had no navigation lights on and then fled the scene of the accident. I am fully cooperating with authorities. Out of respect for the families who have lost loved ones and to fully support the ongoing investigation I feel it is inappropriate to make further comments at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected.”

No charges have been filed as of yet.
